I noticed the same thing - I had a number of forums set at "show threads from last month". Does this mean that Google hasn't been crawling through some of the more ancient threads I have at my site? I've changed all forums to "show all threads" btw.

Another question - more important: I don't have a site map for the root domain that my forum is located - which includes a few thousand pages. Could this plugin work for those as well, or does it only work with vBulletin/vBseo? If so, what would I need to do to include the static pages on the root URL? Would I simply change the "Sitemap Files URL" to the root domain in the admin section? Or do I need to generate a separate sitemap using other software for that?

Last question - pretty lame question but one nonetheless. What URL do I submit to yahoo? Would it be the forum's root url, or the URL that includes the gz file that is reported to Google?

Thanks!
